Translation of the song lyrics Dan Republike - Zabranjeno pušenje

Dan Republike (original)

Danas je Dan Republike
I stari je popio malo
Na televiziji Lepa Brena
I stari se sjeca ratnih vremena
Da bi danas bilo bolje
Oni su poturali svoja pleca
Gazili hladne rijeke
Jeli koru s drveca
Žao mu je što neki misle
Da je život negdje drugdje
I ne sanja se više stari san
Cekaju pasoš da odu van
Danas je dan, Dan Republike
Danas je dan, Dan Republike
Danas je dan, Dan Republike
I stara kaže Dragane šuti
Skrati jezik mogu te cuti
Dan, Dan Republike
Danas je dan, Dan Republike
Danas je dan, Dan Republike
Danas je Dan Republike
I stari se sjeca ratnih dana
Žao mu je što se ni klinci
Više ne igraju partizana
Danas svako zna
Da je glava samo jedna
Danas svako zna
Pred kim pasti na koljena
Danas je Dan Republike i stari kaže
Otvorite prozore, pijan je i cini mu se
Da logorske vatre u daljini gore
Logorske vatre, u daljini gore
Danas je dan, Dan Republike
Danas je dan, Dan Republike
Danas je dan, Dan Republike
I stara kaže
Jesi l' normalan Dragane
Zatvaraj prozore, ne radi grijanje
Danas je dan, Dan Republike
Danas je dan, Dan Republike
Danas je dan, Dan Republike
Danas je dan, Dan Republike
I stara kaže Dragane šuti
Skrati jezik, mogu te cuti
Dan, Dan Republike
Danas je dan, Dan Republike
Danas je dan, Dan Republike

Dan Republike (translation)

Today is Republic Day
And the old man drank a little
On television Lepa Brena
And the old man remembers wartime
To make it better today
They shrugged their shoulders
They trampled the cold rivers
Eat bark from trees
He is sorry for what some think
That life is somewhere else
And he doesn't dream the old dream anymore
They are waiting for a passport to go outside
Today is the day, Republic Day
Today is the day, Republic Day
Today is the day, Republic Day
And the old woman says Dragana is silent
Cut your tongue I can hear you
Dan, Republic Day
Today is the day, Republic Day
Today is the day, Republic Day
Today is Republic Day
And the old man remembers the war days
He's sorry the kids didn't either
They don't play partisans anymore
Today everyone knows
That there is only one head
Today everyone knows
Before whom to fall to your knees
Today is Republic Day and the old says
Open the windows, he's drunk and it seems to him
Yes campfires in the distance upstairs
Campfires, up in the distance
Today is the day, Republic Day
Today is the day, Republic Day
Today is the day, Republic Day
And the old woman says
Are you normal, Dragana?
Close the windows, no heating
Today is the day, Republic Day
Today is the day, Republic Day
Today is the day, Republic Day
Today is the day, Republic Day
And the old woman says Dragana is silent
Cut your tongue, I can hear you
Dan, Republic Day
Today is the day, Republic Day
Today is the day, Republic Day
